Preprint alert: Simulation-based validation of Bayes Factor computation with @paul_buerkner and Sebastian Stroppel. We bring lessons learned in improving SBC to validation of Bayes factors. The main idea is still the same: simulate data from the models, fit those and see if the inferences are calibrated. 1/

For those that have been following my #SBC shenanigans for awhile, here is the current status:
1) #Pine64 RockPi Pro is still running strong as a file server
2) Both #MangoPi (quad and pro) have been recycled
3) #RPi zero has been set up to be a CLI sandbox to play around with
4) #OrangePi Zero2w & #MilkV mars both have #Debian installed but are currently collecting dust. I need to find something to do with them.

Unless something really neat comes out WITH robust support, I think my little foray into SBC will come to end; or more likely be way more sporadic.

Watch me unbox a brand new computer with an AMD 500MHz CPU. Yes, MEGAHERTZ. This will run FreeDOS on bare metal beautifully - including SoundBlaster! #msdos #freedos #sbc #retro #retrogaming #retrocomputing

TIL
```
cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model
```
will just tell me what model of raspberry pi this is.

So yesterday the Radxa Rock 5B+ #SBC arrived, today the cooling and the NVME-SSD. Looking forward what this thing is capable of.

Mostly interested in real life battery usage when powered from a power bank and how easy it is to use the GPIO from within the OS.

Ultimate end goal would be some sort of #Cyberdeck but who knows where that goes.

After dusting off the #sbc this weekend and tinkering with them, I have some sad news. Both of my #MangoPi (pro and quad) are being put out to the pasture. The MP pro (D1 Allwinner risc) wont post regardless the supported OS I put on it. The quad is no longer supported and I cannot find an image to flash on it; scubbing the internet has not been fortuitous.

As for the rest the jury is out. The #OrangePi Zero 2W and RV are working fine; they are just not exciting anymore. The #MilkVMars seems too limited and lacks support from the maker but is up and running. The #RPi Z2W is chugging along just fine.

Unless I find something exciting and well supported, I think I’m kind of done with SBCs at this time.

And I also discovered a cool way of cloning your #Radxa setup into an image using their ready made script.

Works really cool and pretty fast - maybe due to the fact it's running on an eMMC instead of a micro SD card.

An image of a 32GB eMMC ended up as a
7.4GB uncompressed image, which then can go down to like 3-4 GB archived. Sweet.

The script is here btw:

Far from perfect, but #ChatGPT can be helpful faster than #Radxa support.

I got some Radxa Rock 4B+ boards with AW‑NB197SM WiFi module and turns out it was some custom batch or smth.

So they removed support for this module in Radxa OS r4 and onwards, though it works on r3.

Also WiFi works great on #DietPi and #Armbian, so not a hardware fault.

After fiddling for quite a while ChatGPT made me a shell script that fixes - feel free to use it: https://github.com/in-sympathy/radxa_rock_4bplus_wifi_fix
